Notes & Sources

  • NOOCS Part B (Edition 96, Jul 2026) lists subspecialty 15K1 “Preventative Medicine, Subspecialty” in its officer subspecialty table; the row carries the code title with its subspecialty manager/curriculum references only.
  • Naming note: the Edition 96 row prints “Preventative Medicine, Subspecialty”; the page label “Preventive Medicine, Subspecialty” is a legacy or condensed variant of the same code.
  • The Navy source at code level contains no duty, training, or clearance prose: it identifies and indexes the subspecialty, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; a holder’s duties depend on their designator, billet, and qualification.
